MODIS image of Nicaraguas lakes during the rainy season, just before the heavy rains hit

This image displays another day during the rainy season, just days before the heavy rains hit. Sediment plumes of comparable extents to those in the July image are visible. Images with 2-km, 1-km, 500-meter, and 250-meter resolution can be obtained from the NASA LANCE system's MODIS Rapid Response SERVIRNicaragua subset archive. See online resource information for a link to the archive.
